Initial Allegations Emerge
The Salado Police Department issued a press release stating that on June 10, 2025, one of the victims came forward with allegations of sexual harassment.
The victim reported that Carrillo had made repeated unwanted sexual comments, engaged in inappropriate touching, and had used threats and intimidation to create an unsafe and inappropriate work environment. The victim claimed that Carrillo’s actions made the workplace unbearable.
Arrest and Charges
Following an investigation, police were able to gather enough evidence to obtain an arrest warrant for Carrillo on July 13, 2025. Carrillo was charged with indecent assault, which is classified as a Class A Misdemeanor under Texas law. After his arrest, he was booked into Bell County Jail with a $10,000 bond.
Second Victim Comes Forward
